Need help dressing up the engine bay and painting some parts
Well since my motor is out of the car I might as well start cleaning and painting the engine bay, clean up the wires (wire mod)
I am still not sure though what would look better
I have painted my ls6 manifold and valve covers steel gray pearl like the color of my car
and was thinking of painting my engine bay steel gray also or a silver?
The reason why I was thinking silver is because all the chrome on the outside of the car and I have all my suspension parts powdercoated in a chrome like color
heres messed up picture of my engine bay and I now have a black 85mm lid that I was going to paint steel gray
So
should I powdercoat my radiator support, high flow fuel rails and throttle body chome like and paint the rest of the engine bay, Lid, steel gray?
Or paint the engine bay a silver color to match my chrome like suspension parts and throttle body?
heres a picture of the chrome like color of my STB and TB
Any other ideas?
